The Roku Streaming Stick Makes A Regular TV A Smart TV

"the Roku Streaming Stick only works on TV's that have HDMI ports that are MHL-enhanced--those are the HDMI ports that can also deliver power in order to charge devices that are plugged in. You can simply look at your HDMI port to find out if yours will work--it'll have the letters "MHL" printed right there."

I learned something new already this year..

If you plan on buying a new TV set for your wife or to replace your old CRT set,
be sure to look for one with the "MHL" label on the HDMI ports..
That seems to be the newest version of HDMI and might be more
compatible with newer devices that come along during the next few years.
